Accepted Answer

Chapman's neurolymphatic reflexes

Answer

Moro reflex

Answer

Babinski reflex

Answer

Patellar reflex

Question 2

In AK, the 'therapy localization' technique is used to:

Accepted Answer

Identify dysfunction by having the patient touch a body area while a muscle is tested

Answer

Strengthen weak muscles through direct stimulation

Answer

Measure nerve conduction velocity

Answer

Assess bone density at joint sites

Question 3

The concept of 'switching' or neurological disorganization in AK refers to:

Accepted Answer

A state where the nervous system gives paradoxical or inconsistent muscle test results

Answer

The transition from acute to chronic injury

Answer

Changing muscle groups during assessment

Answer

Reversing the direction of joint mobilization

Question 4

Primitive reflex integration is important in AK because unintegrated reflexes can:

Accepted Answer

Cause persistent muscle inhibition and postural imbalances

Answer

Accelerate joint degeneration directly

Answer

Increase cardiovascular workload

Answer

Reduce immune response efficiency

Question 5

Which cranial nerve is most commonly assessed in AK for its role in regulating visceral organ function through the autonomic nervous system?

Accepted Answer

Vagus nerve (CN X)

Answer

Trigeminal nerve (CN V)

Answer

Facial nerve (CN VII)

Answer

Hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)

Question 6

In AK, a 'circuit retaining mode' technique involves:

Accepted Answer

Holding a challenge while simultaneously testing another body area to identify connected dysfunction

Answer

Repeating the same muscle test five times in succession

Answer

Applying cold therapy between muscle tests

Answer

Recording baseline muscle strength before any intervention
